Coin Toss- new short video

I did this in photoshop. Which makes it akin to after effects light.
Same sort of timeline work area. Just a less robust menu for FX. But since I love photoshop and know it pretty well, it's a ton of fun to play with video. 

Lots of potential for planning out rotoscoping.

I did go into iMovie. Added some of my favotite themes. And a Wilhelm scream. No. Two Wilhelm screams.

(Got rid of the one with less sound)

Very funny and very cool Ellis!

Thanks Tom. Photoshop and iMovie. Now if I had any musical ability I could really aspire to be obnoxious.

Motion comics might be fun.

I think it would be cool if you treated these kinds of short films as kind of "movie trailers" for some fictional 2 hour movie, like in the style of this original trailer for King Kong in 1933:

Add some big text across the screen and a bunch of intriguing short, mysterious scenes. Maybe a booming voiceover too!

How about this one for "20 Million Miles to Earth"?

You have the best ideas Tom. I need to use some public domain vintage stuff and blend with it. Sounds fun. "Supers' are one of my favorite effects in photoshop. Like I dig the titles and credits as much as anything.

And Phantom Planet. And Creature from the Haunted Sea. All public domain. I'm going to mash all 4 together.

Yes! Love that Target Earth robot attack!

I've decided on my source material. Digital copies on hand. Phantom Planet, Creature from the Haunted Sea, Target Earth, Not of This Earth, Metropolis , One Got Fat, and Radar Men From the Moon. Minute and a half limit for the trailer. Longer is tiresome.
